I did a Camping World 400 mile search from Nashville, found 1 in Columbia, SC for $13,994. 2017

The 18DS is the near clone of the 179. The floor insulation and enclosed underbelly are nice options. However, it is only available as part of a package that includes other features which make it sound like a "Hood River Edition." The other thing different is the storage. It looks like it might be full width in the front instead of partial as in the 179.

Interesting differences. I like the thought of the enclosed underbelly.

The only thing I wonder about is why fiberglass insulation for the roof instead of foam, possibly with the reflective foil they are using for the floor. Fiberglass can shift or get damp. Something that won't absorb moisture would seem to make more sense. Of course, the same goes for the R-Pod.

Because it won't bend around the curve.
